Not all cultures have the same personality. Some combinations are more compatible than others.


> Germany is as racist as it gets.

Not even close to true. Most countries in the world are more racist than Germany.


Healthcare is not free, it's taxpayer funded and consumes a huge portion of the national budget.


Wait until the definition of hate speech changes to include something _you_ want to say.

What does "safest speech" even mean? Most boring? Orthodox? Speech that doesn't cause negative emotion?


Speech that doesn't insight hate to any %, avoiding use of any abrasive language hyper focusing down to the identity and being uncultured is offensive.

I didn't think it be so crazy to assume the people caring the most about not sounding offensive produces the least amount of offensive material to harvest for free

I've done nine days on water only and it was fantastic. It reset my tastebuds and simple foods tasted great again. Not to mention the weight loss.


Yeah, beauty and fun aren't necessary. Maybe we should instead exist in a drab, brutalist world. That ought to decrease emissions a fair bit.


This is what pathological inclusion gives us - a lack of conflict between ideas, which means there can be no proper evolution of ideas. So inferior ideas end up wallowing in their own pools of self-aggrandizing ignorance.


Postmodern relativism has encouraged viewing all knowledge on an equal footing, which is ridiculous, because the application of knowledge has varying consequences.

If you care about what's real and you care about progress, scientific explanations are better than traditional ones. But when one's identity is partially composed of traditional explanations, contradictions are seen as an attack on identity itself.

In other words, some people find comfort and meaning in the familiarity of relative ignorance, especially when that ignorance is culturally shared. Processing new and contrary information is uncomfortable.

But no one has the right to insist that others validate their own ignorance, which is effectively what equating skepticism with violence is. And these days, at the extreme, you may even be accused of trying to "erase" someone if you question their cherished ignorance.

And yes, everyone is ignorant, although not equally. One true mark of a person is how they navigate and synthesize new information. Seeking better knowledge is directional, even if it's also asymptotic.
